TRIUMPHANT pEMOCKacy. |,

ANDREW CAaNEGIE's book bearing thi, title does not please the authorities oi Wolyerhampton, the English town ir which it was published. A grand jury wanted to indict the book as false, scan dalous, seditious, reasonable and libel ous. The court did not see the way clear to suppress the book, but thought some other authority might take the matter up. If the title of the book is suggestive of it's contents, it may be reasonable, if not hbelous, Triumph, ant Democracy and a reigning family are conflicting ideas. One will event ually give way to the other, and on this side of the water we do not doubt much which it will be.

binary walks of life as those who faced
thrown to the lions or burned at the
stake, The dark places of the earth and
the habitations of cruelty are not con-
fined to heathendom. There is as YER
table and self-sacrifcing missionary
work done in our cities and smaller viii
lagos and scattered country districts and
pioneer settlements as in the South Sea
Islands or the heart of Africa. And there
are millions of homes and sick rooms
and hospitals and asylums where the
meek endurance and the loving and self
denying ministrations are as honored
in Gods sight as those which have been
made famous in song and story. Men
and women all about us are leading
brave and patient lives amid pain or
poverty or domestic discomfort or con-
tinual disappointment, striving against
depression within and temptation with
out, known only to the divine eye, and
enduring as seeing him who is invisible.
AS Cyprian says of the primitive dis
ciples, they " do not speak great things,
but they live them" And they are as
unconscious as they are unrecognized
in their heroism. And it will be one of
the grand surprises of eternity when
it shall be announced to them: Ye
have been faithful and valiant, meek
and self-renouncing in that which is
least; come up higher into the crowned
circle of heroic and victorious souls in
the true Valhalla of the life immor-
tall"-ChriStidn MtelRgencer.

Living Close to God.

Rev. L. l.. Cuvler, in the New
York Evangelist, says: elf you ask
what we gain by living close to God,
would answer that we gain fresh sup
plies of strength. The strength of yes
more than yesterdays food will sus-
tain me if / neglected to eat my break
fast this morning. God means that we
shall be kept in constant dependence,
therefore he metes out strength equal
to the day The mama must fall
fresh every morning. Lord, give us
day by day our daily bread. No Chris
tian can live on an old experience or
old promise made to God in years gone
by, or on the divine help that was fur
nished to him in a passed emergency.
A new conflict requires new and inn
mediate interpositiOn of the divine aid.
The Christians of Laodicea may once
have been healthy and happy; they
ceased to live near to God, and he
'spewed them out of his mouth Sc
curity depends upon living close to
Jesus. The soldier who keeps the ranks
on the march, and behind the ramparts
during the assault, is commonly safe A;
the stragglers are apt to be picked up
by the enemy. To this latter class in
our churches belong the casualties and
the disgraceful assertions which so
often shock and shame us. Among this
class of back-sliders are the ready vic
Tins of the tempter-the men who be-
tray pecuniary trusts and weakened
time-servers who succumb in times of
hard pressure, and those deserters who
slip away from Gods worship through
broken Sabbaths, and all the votaries of
self indulgence who are mostly found
in the haunts of Vanity Fair Drift
ing away from God, they fall into the
hands of the adversary. Need a Chris
tian ever slip or stumble? Need he
ever walk in the dark or lose the roll
of his assurance? No; not if he lives
close to Christ-so close that the Shep-
herds eye is ever on him and the light
of Christ's countenance illumines his
path and the Almighty arm is ever
within reach. Brother, if you or / ever
lose Christ it is not because he has
driven us away or hidden himself from
us; it is because we have been drawn
away from him.

Times Go BY Turns.

The following was written some two cen
turtles and half since by Robert South
worth, an English Jesuit 1t belongs tc
what may be called philosophic poetry, and
to us appears to possess high merit;
The Topped tree in time may grow again
Most naked plants renew both fruit and flower;
The sorrest wight may find relief from pain,
The driest soil suck in moistening shower
Times go by turns, and chances by course.
From foul to fair, from betters hap to worse.
The sea of fortune doth forever flow,
She draws her favors to the lowest ebb;
Her tides hath equal times to come and co.
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web.
No Joy so great but runneth to an end
No hap so hard but may in time amend.
Not always fall of leaf. nor even spring,
Nor endless night, nor yet eternal day;
The saddest birds season find to sing
The toughest storm calm may soon allay.
Thus with succeeding turns God tempereth all
That may hope to rise yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by mischance was lost;
The net that holds no great takes little fish;
In some things ALL in all things none are crossed
Few all they need but none have all they wish
Unminged joys here to man bcfal,
Who least hath some, who most hath never ALL

The Rich and the Poor.

The common people with the common
things which fall to their lot are the
happiest in this world. Six small dol
lars week are not much, ten big dol
lars week are not much, but more
can be got out of them than out of $50
week or 500 a week, on the average.
1t is easy to show the apparent alb
surdity of such statement, it is easy
to deny it, it is hard to believe it; but
perhaps it is true. 1t is true that the
average person gets less out of uncom-
mon things than out of common things.
1t has been proved over and over again
in this country that the average rich
mans son, with uncommon advantages,
is not the equal of the poor mans son,
with common advantages. From all
reports, it would seem that the hideous-
ness of the skeletons in the closets of
the common people do not, on the
average, equal those concealed in the
mansions of the rich.-Le,CiSton Jour

The Bible.

The Bible shows its superiority and
excellence as book for study and in
struction and comfort in that it qrOCS
upon one. The more he rightly reads
it, the more he finds in it and the
greater his admiration and love for it.
He does not tire of it. Other volumes
charm for awhile, but second or third
perusal largely exhausts their power to
interest, to feed and to attract. We
outgrow them. What delighted us
once in human productions loses its
power as we grow in mental culture
and acquisition. We lay them aside as
we did the garments that fitted our
persons in our youth but which are i'll
suited to our manhood. The Bible we
can never outgrow. 1t is the book for
all times and conditions. 1t grows
with our years and our spiritual attain
ments.-PresJyterion Observer.

by the fire for one who comes in chilled.
1t is giving the most restful armchair

1t is " moving up" in the pew to let
the newcomer sit down by the en-
trance. 1t is rising from your place to
darken the blind when the SUMS rays

The Prayer-Meeting in REVEALS.

Whenever your preaching or your
pastoral activity has become the means
of religious revival the prayer-meet-
ing will be sure to feel the effect.
There will be more attendants and the
interest of the meeting will be greater.
The prayer-meeting is your true gar
nering-place for souls. Bring the
prayer-meeting into as close relation as
possible to the preaching-service-a
close as possible both in mutual inter-
est and in place and time. We would
earnestly advise that your second
preaching service on Sunday be closed
with prayer-meeting. For the sake
of this, let the preaching service be
shortened, and then let the sermon
tend directly and with conscious and
studlous attention, on your part, to
bring quickened consciences - both
Christians and sinners - into the
prayer-meeting. A vast amount of i'm
preston that might be fruitful, and that
ought to be made fruitful, is thrown
away, or worse, simply by failure to
supply the opportunity for it to con-
firm and deepen and ripen itself
through prompt and decisive self
expression. The Pentecostal sermon
of Peter elected the question, "What
shall we do?" Your sermons ought to
elicit similar practical inquiry. Never
suffer yourself to rest satisfied unless
your sermons do stir up a spirit of
practical inquiry. Then afford season.
able opportunity for this inquiring
spirit to declare itself. A prayer-meet-
ing following the preaching service
will be such an opportunity. You
may, if you please, call it an inquiry
meeting. No matter what you call it,
let it be an occasion expressly adapted
to induce reused consciences to take
some decisive course in self-committal
This is of prime consequence in the
economy of spiritual impression. 1t is
useless, worse than useless, for hearts
to be the subjects of strong impressions
of duty periodically on Sundays and
then do nothing in consequence. Such
a process is a process of induration.
Each successive stroke of impact re-
ceived that issues in no act of obedi-
ence is a step toward the state of cal
lousness and hopeless insensibility We
feel like adjuring every pastor, Do
your utmost to avoid the dreadful re-
sponsibility involved in making the
gospel itself SAVIOR of death unto
death to any. The question here nat
urally arises, In what form may that
decisive act of self-committal on the
part of conscience, which is here
spoken of, be wisely and safely ac-
complished? The discussion of this
question will naturally involve inquiry
into the advisableness of those various
eXpedients adopted by evangelists, So
called, namely, rising for prayer"
&C coming forward to the anxious seat"
etc. The point is an important one
and we should treat it seriously and
frankly.-PrQfeSsor William G.. WI

Self.knOwIedge.

Self-knowledge is the starting-point
for all true religion. A man must
know the truth concerning himself.
must realize his alienation from God,
his spiritual poverty, the enmity of his
heart to the fountain of all good
illumination is the first stage in con-
version, when the light of divine truth
reveals to the sinner his moral naked
ness, the great length to which he has
wandered away from his Heavenly
Father and the dire wretchedness in
which he is involved by his violation of
divine law. The dawn of new life
begins to glow in his breast. The voice
OF God is becoming effectual within
him. A conviction had been wrought
in him that all was not well, that all
was not right between him and his
God. The sacred bond was broken.
His soul could have no peace. He saw,
he knew, he felt, that he was a sinner,
He may not have known the magni-
tude of his sins, the awful depths into
which he had sunken or the terrible
Nervousness of an ungodly life. He
probably understood but little of the
philosophy of the theology of sin, of
its classification into original and actual
venial and mortal, omission and COM
mission. He simply realized that he
was lacking true righteousness, that he
had been disobedient to his Maker, a
transgressor, an offender against holy
God, and that he now stood condemned
before the Supreme Judge of all the
earth.-E. j. Wolfe, DID,.

4 Christ's Tenderness,

Jesus not only taught the world ten
derness toward the bruised and stricken
by precept, but the example of his life
shows us that he carried the burdens
OF others, and in this was his chief ex-
altation. He was man of sorrows
and acquainted with griefs." We shall
find our burden of sorrows lifted only
as, and when, we seek to help others
bear their sorrows. The Scriptures de-
clare that he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities; the chastsement of our
peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed" The Lord
Jesus was made wise by tears. A de-
vout German theologian has said, " If
Jesus the Christ had never rendered
the world any other service than to
teach humanity that it was noble to
weep he must for this service be con-
sidered one of the worlds greatest
benefactors. That Jesus wept" is
the browning evidence of his humanity
and one of the chief ornaments of his
divinity. Don't you trust the man who
boasts that he never weeps. Such cold,
calculating natures will bear watching.
The psalmist prays: "Put thou my
tears into thy bottle; are they not in
thy book?" Some of you are in pos
session of your reason this hour be-
cause when under great pressure of
grief your silent sorrow was relieved
by the opening of the fountain of
tears. We are told by Paul to "reioice
with them that do rejoice, and weep
with them that weep" And Jesus
said, Blessed are we that weep now,
for We shall laugh. "-Dr. James N.
